Anton Weeren wrote this virtuoso Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra for Jeroen Schippers, solo trumpet player of the Marine Band of the Royal Netherlands Navy. This work had its world premiere with Jeroen Schippers and his orchestra in November 2022. The premiere of the fanfare version took place at the Gelders Fanfare Orchestra. It is a challenging work for both the soloist and the orchestra in which the concerto style typically emerges. Overall, this piece consists of an opening, five subsequent and based movements, and a solo cadence.
